  Emotion regulation skills, brain-derived neurotrophic factor, cortisol hormone levels in primary school students in Türkiye: a cross-sectional and correlational analysis study

  Kırbaş, Zila Özlem; Bayraktar, Bülent; Odabaşi Aktaş, Elif

  Background: Hormones are molecules that contribute significantly to mental and physical health due to their role in emotion regulation (ER) processes. However, the role and effect of hormones on the ER has not yet been fully elucidated. In this study, it was aimed to examine the salivary Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and cortisol hormone response to support ERS in primary school students depending on some parameters. Method: This cross-sectional and correlational study was conducted in the Eastern Black Sea Region of Türkiye between April 2023 and June 2023. In the sample selection, after the number of students was determined in proportional stratification, the sample selection method was made by simple random selection from each class list, first according to the school and then the grade level of each school. A total of 177 healthy students between the ages of 8 and 10 who attended these schools, were allowed to participate in the research by their families, and were volunteers, were included in the study. Data were collected using the Personal Information Form and the Emotion Regulation Scale for Children and saliva collection cups. Human-specific Brain-derived neurotrophic factor ELISA Kit (BT LAB, Cat.No E1302Hu, CHINA) for measuring BDNF levels in saliva; In measuring the level of cortisol hormone in saliva, Human Cortisol ELISA Kit (BT LAB, Cat.No E 1 003Hu, CHINA) was used in accordance with the procedure specified in the manufacturer’s catalogue. Data were evaluated using the SPSS 26.0 for Windows (SPSS, Chicago, Il, USA) package program. Independent Samples Test and One-Way ANOVA test, correlation and Multiple Linear Regression analysis were used to evaluate the data. P <.01 and p <.05 significance levels were used as statistical significance values. Results: A statistically significant correlation was found between the mean total score of the Emotion Regulation Skills Scale for Children and the mean level of salivary BDNF, and a negative correlation between the mean level of salivary cortisol (p˂0.01). Conclusions: Within the scope of the data obtained in our current study, BDNF levels were found to be high and cortisol hormone levels to be low in children with high ERS.

  Effect of kangaroo mother care and white noise on physiological-stress parameters in heel lancing: randomized controlled study

  Kirbaş, Zila Özlem; OdabaşI Aktaş, Elif; Bayraktar, Bülent; Özkan, Hava

  Background: Newborns are exposed to varying degrees of stressful interventions due to procedures such as heel lancing used in routine metabolic screenings. It is an examination of the effects of white noise and kangaroo care on some physiological parameters and stress markers (cortisol and glucose-regulated protein 78-GRP78) in heel lancing in newborns. Methods: Randomized controlled study was conducted at a gynecology service of a hospital between January and September 2023. 90 babies were divided into three groups: 30 babies in the Kangaroo Care Group (KCG), 30 babies in the White Music Group (WMG), and 30 babies in the Control Group (CG). All babies were randomly divided into groups. Stress parameters were measured by saliva collection method and physiological parameters by saturation device. Results: A statistically significant difference was determined between the total crying time, pulse and saturation values ​​according to the groups (p < 0.001; p = 0.001). A statistically significant difference was determined between the mean values ​​of cortisol and GRP78 measurements according to group and time interaction (p < 0.001). KCG was more effective in reducing total crying time and stabilizing pulse, saturation, salivary cortisol, GRP-78 values compared to WNG and CG. Conclusion: It was concluded that white noise and kangaroo care help reduce newborns’ stress in the case of heel lancing. Practical implications: The practice of kangaroo care and the use of white noise methods may assist healthcare professionals as supportive methods in stress management during invasive procedures. Trial Registration: NCT06278441, registered on 19/02/2024.
